Are you presenting at the meeting, or chairing a session? Read on for detailed instruction, as well as tips and guidelines to ensure you have a successful and rewarding meeting experience!
Presenters: AV, Bring Your Laptop, Courtesy to Speakers
Computer projectors will be available in every technical session room. You must bring your own laptop (or plan to share with another presenter) and AC power adapter. If you have a Mac, don’t forget your adapter. Technical assistance will be available for any AV problems. During technical sessions please turn off cell phones and other mobile devices. Also note that the use of camera and recording devices is prohibited unless you have received prior permission from the speaker.
Presentation Guidelines
The room and location of your session are listed in the Technical Sessions section and in the Master Track Schedule. Please be on time for your session and check-in with the session chair.
- Presentations are expected to be in English.
- Limit the presentation to key issues with a brief summary.
- Time your presentation to fit within your designed time span, leaving time for audience questions.
- You may bring copies of your paper or other handouts to distribute to the audience.
Session Chair Guidelines
The role of the Chair is to coordinate the smooth running of the session. The Chair:
- Begins and ends each session on time. Each session lasts 75 minutes, with the time per session determined by the number of papers in the session. Equal time should be given to each paper.
- Introduce each presentation (just the title of the paper and the name of the author).
- Complete the session attendance form online here.
